Abstract
Expert pathologists commonly perform visual interpretation of histology slides for cervix tissue abnormality diagnosis. We investigated an automated, localized, fusion-based approach for cervix histology image analysis for squamous epithelium classification into Normal, CIN1, CIN2, and CIN3 grades of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). The epithelium image analysis approach includes medial axis determination, vertical segment partitioning as medial axis orthogonal cuts, individual vertical segment feature extraction and classification, and image-based classification using a voting scheme fusing the vertical segment CIN grades. Results using 61 images showed at least 15.5% CIN exact grade classification improvement using the localized vertical segment fusion versus global image features.
